| 
|      - for
|      - do/while
|      - switch/case/default
|      - multiple dimension arrays
|      - goto
|      - float (although it does support double)
|      - structures
|      - unions
|      - multiple indirections (two or more * such as **i)
|      - assignment operators (+= -= *= etc.)
|      - storage classes
|      - precompiler stuff other than #define/#include/#asm/#endasm
|      - declaring a function AND its function type in the same line
|              (e.g. double foo(i) int i; /* will not work */)
|      - probably other things too
| 
| For a free compiler and a learning tool (you get the source code), it

The current version of Small C is AT LEAST 2.1 - and it DOES support:

       - for
       - do/while
       - switch/case/default
       - goto
       - assignment operators (+= -= *= etc.)
        - precompiler stuff including:
               #define
               #include
               #ifdef
               #ifndef
               #else
               #endif
               #asm
               #endasm
       - int foo(i) int i;  /* DOES work - or should */

Version 2.1 is a considerably better version than 1.x - I'm surprised
there are any 1x implementations anywere.
